Pros
  1. Food is okay.
  2. People are okay, though most of them speak Chinese.
  3. Management is okay; there are both top-down and bottom-up opportunities.
Cons

Work time is very bad. Although the hour is not lengthy, there is an implicit need to work at night. So, there are proper alignments and sync-ups with the Chinese team.
